Just about all over now. Here it's still Whit Monday, a public holiday
in quite a few European countries; but that's just a modern extension of
Whit Sunday, a public holiday in a somewhat different list of European
countries, and, under its Greek name of Pentecost, in Greece (of
course) and Iceland (?).
German "Pfingsten" is also borrowed from medieval Latin "pentecoste"
or such, but heavily reshaped.
D. *Pinksteren* < pinkster-[dag] < pincsten
In Antwerp etc. also
